Xu Xilin said a word, and the effect was similar to throwing a string of two kicks on the sofa. There was silence during the banquet, and even the "gudu" sound of the hot pot seemed quiet for a while.
Dou Xun's hand holding the cup froze in midair.
Lao Cheng was stunned, as if he was caught while stealing a landmine.
On the contrary, Cai Jing, who should have been horrified, recovered quickly after being stunned for a while, and clinked glasses with Xu Xilin quite calmly: "Well, I said, it makes sense."
Lao Cheng turned around with a "quack", and continued to look at Cai Jing in shock.
Cai Jing shook the tea in the cup: "I will not shrink from it, although it is brown and broad, I will not be afraid; I will shrink from it, although there are millions of people, I will go."
Lao Cheng and Xu Xilin's language teacher died early, and the two looked at each other, only Dou Xun touched him with a cup of tea - they robbed him of all his lines, and Dr. Dou was more silent than sound.
Xu Xilin asked Cai Jing, "Have you thought about what you will do in the future?"
"I was thinking," Cai Jing slowly took a piece of boiled meat, rolled it in the sesame sauce, and glanced at Xu Xilin without smiling, "I have a body that has been transformed by labor, and it is quite tough. Think slowly, don't worry - you should take care of yourself."
After the meal, Lao Cheng and Cai Jing went back to the flower shop, and Dou Xun stayed to pack up and refused to let Xu Xilin touch.
Xu Xilin washed his hands, idly turned around a few times, and hugged Dou Xun from behind.
Dou Xun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Huh?"
Xu Xilin was fine, he just came to make trouble, he had a human-shaped tail, Dou Xun washed the dishes, he poked on the spot, hugged quietly, Dou Xun put the tableware and chopsticks in the cupboard, and he adorned them on others and followed.
Xu Xilin: "When will you move back?"
Dou Xun had a slight smile on his mouth, turned his head to kiss him, and said nothing.
Xu Xilin: "Bean stuffing, bean stuffing, bean stuffing..."
Dou Xun Ergen was very sensitive, and he was almost stunned by his screams. He took Xu Xilin's hand away and said, "Let me show you something."
Xu Xilin had been thinking about the "things" Dou Xun said in front of his hospital bed that day, but he didn't mention it.
Dou Xun wiped his hands and opened the locked door opposite the master bedroom.
Xu Xilin didn't think there was anything wrong with this room at first, and he didn't feel anything special when he saw the photos Dou Xun sent in the past, but now Dou Xun opened it in front of him, but he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of shame, and dawdled at the door. I didn't dare to go in for a long time.
At this moment, a gray shadow flew by.
The gray parrot is quite a bit "don't let it go where it goes", and it will dig through the crack of the door when it catches. When it counsels its father hesitantly, it is the first to get there. It landed on the desk and looked at Xu Xilin with its tail raised.
Xu Xilin: "..."
He took a deep breath and walked into the door, only to see a cardboard box on the table, cut into the shape of a chocolate box, with a shabby heart on it with dazzling insulating tape.
Xu Xilin involuntarily lowered his voice: "What's inside?"
Dou Xun leaned on the desk, and put his legs together lightly, like a handsome man in a picture: "See for yourself."
Xu Xilin resolutely grabbed his son and threw it out of the house, then closed the door with his hand, and walked to the beautiful man.
He opened the lid of the carton, only to see a dozen thick sheets of chocolate candy inside.
From the first day he met Dou Xun, Dou Xun had no shortage of snacks in his schoolbag. From his teenage years to his nearly 30s, he didn't want to repent and was not tired of it. Xu Xilin couldn't help but worry a little: "How much chocolate have you eaten? Ah baby? How many teeth have you decayed?"
Dou Xun: "...Shut up."
Xu Xilin held back his smirk and picked up a piece of candy paper: "You gave me a bunch of candy paper after making trouble for a long time? I thought at least a ring, even if you don't have a ring, give me a piece of chocolate..."
Then he interrupted when he was teasing Dou Xunwan, because he saw the words on the back of the candy paper, which were very small and had to be read clearly by facing the light. They were all handwritten—
A certain day of a certain year, a light rain,
I had a strange dream all night, dreaming that Xu Xilin was walking in front of me, I wanted to catch up and say a few words to him, telling him that he should not, so I had to keep chasing and running until I woke up, and the feeling of despair in my heart was still there. .
The date is about seven years ago.
a certain day of the month, overcast
There was a new Chinese girl who also had the surname Xu. After chatting with her for a while, she felt that it was boring. When she came back, she realized that she was just looking for the shadow of a person in others, and it took a while to be sensitive when hearing someone with the same surname.
The date is six years ago.
…
"I didn't talk to her again." Dou Xun came over at some point, saw the candy wrapper in his hand, hugged him from the side, and put his chin on Xu Xilin's shoulder with a slightly nasal tone.
Xu Xilin: "You write a diary with candy paper?"
Wouldn't it take a few years to get diabetes
Dou Xun inexplicably heard his overtones, and angrily took a bite on his neck.
"It's written on the book." Dou Xun said, and then he didn't wait for Xu Xilin to ask "Where is the book?", he explained himself, "I moved twice and left it behind."
I moved twice, I want to get rid of you, get rid of the old days, and leave the ink stains behind and the old things behind.
Unexpectedly, memory is like a hard drive that can never be formatted. After many years, the thrown away book has been turned into pulp and recycled in a foreign country, but every word can be written out.
Xu Xilin didn't know what to say for a while, a little uncomfortable, a little sad, a little complacent about his place in his heart, and a little helpless - Dou Xun's way of thinking is always simple and rude, finding that others have kept the old room from many years ago, I have to dig out my own thoughts and show it to him... Forget it, Dou Xun really has no progress in his life like his fried rice.
Sure enough, Dou Xun looked down at the box of candy wrappers that made people laugh and laugh. He wrapped his arms around Xu Xilin tightly and asked uncertainly, "Should I still prepare a ring... You don't seem to like chocolate recently."
Xu Xilin carefully put the candy wrapper back into the box, closed the lid again, then pulled Dou Xun up like a green onion, and threw it on the cot next to him... The action was mighty and domineering, but unfortunately he hurt his vitality a while ago. Was twisted.
In order to maintain his image, Xu Xilin kept quiet, secretly moved his twisted wrist behind his back, bent down and lifted Dou Xun's chin with his good hand, lowered his voice and said, "I don't want to eat chocolate, can you eat it?"
Dou Xun had no objection, and wished he could immediately peel off the skin and cramp, adjust the saltiness by himself, and jump into the soup pot for him to eat.
The two soon became entangled. Dou Xun's hand-painted class notes were still on the bedside. In the corner of the closet were his uniform shirts, jackets and sportswear. The two pairs of limited-edition sneakers of the year had turned yellow and were poked side by side in the corner. , cuddling with the Taoist uniform of the second master who practiced Muay Thai back then... But the figure reflected on the full-length mirror has matured.
Dou Xun ripped off Xu Xilin's coat, started to unbutton his shirt, and starved for half a year. He was salivating. He wanted to swallow it whole, but he didn't want to eat it. Too devoured, waste of taste.
Just as he was struggling with his "appetite", the phone that he had thrown aside suddenly rang.
Dou Xuncai ignored him and turned a deaf ear.
Who knows that after the phone hangs up automatically, it rings again after a while.
The bell is the soul singer Grey Parrot's "Congratulations on making a fortune", which ran out of tune to the Pacific Ocean. It is extremely joyful - this magical bell also inspired the singing of the recorder next door. Xu Xilin's broken house has poor sound insulation and a thin door panel. Inside and out are the "Best please come over, bad please go away" duets one after another.
Dou Xun: "...Fuck!"
Xu Xilin felt that Dou Xun's expression was enough to make him happy for a lifetime, raised an arm to cover his face, and laughed until he couldn't breathe.
Dou Xun picked up his arm while holding the phone with a stinky face, grabbed his half-covered collar, dragged someone over, reached in and touched it like a spoiled child, and picked up the unfamiliar number angrily. The call came, and I decided to complain to the express company to the end: "Hello?"
As a result, a female voice came over the phone: "Is it Dou Xun?"
Dou Xun felt that it sounded a little familiar, but he was full of unpleasantness to be disturbed, and was not in the mood to search for memory, so he asked a little rudely: "Yes, who is it?"
The woman sighed faintly: "Can't you hear it? I'm mother."
Dou Xun: "..."
Zhu Xiaocheng, except when Grandma Xu passed away, came back, and has been without any news for so many years. Those who didn't know probably thought that she had achieved a positive result and gained the Tao to go to the Western Paradise.
She is more self-aware than Dou Junliang, and has always known that she occupies a virtual position as a "mother". The name "mother" is not right, and she is quite polite to Dou Xun: "This time I return to China, I plan to stay for a week, these few days Can I see you once? You booked a place, and the changes have changed so much that I don't even know you."
Dou Xun was silent for a while, then agreed.
It's strange to say that Zhu Xiaocheng, a mother, is less reliable than Dou Junliang, but Dou Xun doesn't have a bad feeling for her. I think it's because she has been absent, so he never had too high expectations for her. reason.
Zhu Xiaocheng said again: "call Xiaolin together, okay?"
Dou Xun frowned and subconsciously refused: "Forget it, he was just discharged from the hospital a while ago, and his health is not very good."
Zhu Xiaocheng: "I heard your father say..."
Dou Xun's phone was not leaking, but Xu Xilin was so close to him that he could not avoid hearing it.
Dou Xun felt that the body in the palm of his hand was obviously stiff.
"He's going to call me godmother too," Zhu Xiaocheng said softly, "of course, if you don't want to, forget it, get together and leave as you wish, don't force it."
Now that she has said this, Xu Xilin has to bite the bullet and go to see him no matter what, and he is inevitably uneasy - more uneasy than Dou Xun, because Zhu Xiaocheng, as a godmother, treats him better than Dou Xun.
Before Dou Xun was on vacation, they made an appointment for the next day.
Xu Xilin deliberately got up early, and went in as soon as the mall opened. He turned around and picked out a set of jewelry for Zhu Xiaocheng. It must be beautiful and expensive, and it must have a sense of design, and it can't be too ladylike. —Because the monks are all empty of the four elements, although they must be materially rich in order to carry out spiritual practice, it is not convenient for the upper body to be overly jeweled.
I wish Xiaocheng arrived early and waited for them in the restaurant. She is still younger and more beautiful than her peers, probably because she lived a prosperous and unrestrained life, she also developed an indescribable temperament, Xu Xilin has almost forgotten that she dragged Xu Jin to cry in the early years. Resentful woman.
Zhu Xiaocheng accepted the gift and seemed to like it very much. She cared about Xu Xilin's health very decently. Then she leaned back slightly, looked at the two young people who had not seen her for a long time, and said frankly, "I didn't expect to put you It was such a result that it was sent to the Xu family, if I had known earlier..."
Xu Xilin grabbed Dou Xun's hand and his back was tight, ready to apologize to Zhu Xiaocheng for "hooking up her son" at any time.
Dou Xun looked at the woman in front of him with some displeasure.
As a result, Zhu Xiaocheng said: "Even if I knew earlier, I have nowhere else to entrust you. It may be fate."
Xu Xilin: "..."
After not seeing her for many years, she is still irresponsible and open-minded. She is really a heartless and wonderful flower.
"I talked to Dou Junliang and persuaded him. At this age, what kind of life do you earn? What else is there to think about?" Zhu Xiaocheng said, "Oh, yes, I haven't told you why I came back. Right? Dou Junliang was diagnosed with liver cancer a while ago, and it is at an advanced stage, and now he is making arrangements for his funeral."
Dou Xun was taken aback and suddenly remembered Dou Junliang's phone call at the airport that day.
Later, Dou Junliang contacted him several times, but he didn't say anything, just wanted to ask him out, but at that time, Dou Xun was in the hospital by Xu Xilin, and he was so devastated, how could he have time to pay attention to him? It wasn't that he didn't answer, or that he was perfunctory with "I'll talk about it later".
Dou Xun's mood is a little complicated.
"He said he made an appointment with you a few times, but you didn't agree to see him. He felt that you still had a grudge against him, so he asked me to tell you." Zhu Xiaocheng shrugged, "You are in a hurry and go to the doctor. If you catch a Bodhisattva, you will worship him. I'm not as good as him at your place, and I don't know what the use of calling me is."
Dou Xun: "..."
Zhu Xiaocheng left a hospital address and said sincerely: "I brought the message for him. If you want, just go and see him. Anyway, if I am, I will go. Dou Junliang has money, enough for you to fight for many years less. It can't be cheap that little fox."
